6.2. Creating Management Users
The JBoss ON agents connect to the EAP 6 server as a management user. This enables JBoss ON to perform tasks like changing the configuration or starting and stopping resources.
6.2.1. Creating a Management User Through JBoss ON
The operation to install a user creates the
rhqadmin user in the ManagementRealm for the EAP 6 server.
Note
The user is created in the secure management realm. If the EAP 6 server is running in unsecure mode, then the install RHQ user operation fails because JBoss ON cannot connect to the management realm.
EAP 6 servers are secured by default.
